Imagine what would have been like if he got to stay with the family he was born into or at least the mom or dad. I'm sure over time he learned a lot of those behaviors for survival or just to cope, which is just so sad. You were very kind to do what you did to help him, but I know it has been a struggle for you all.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790267042141485205.post-9877826261621563392012-06-18T19:58:14.348-07:002012-06-18T19:58:14.348-07:00I still admire you for taking him in at first plac...I still admire you for taking him in at first place.

He may think he won if you have to leave sooner, but you know it's not true. Think of it as a vacation from him and you are the winner. Maybe he'll be gone before you get back. I know it won't be a fun trip to OK whenever it happens.

Makes it difficult for the people trying to give him a decent life though. <br />I hope his forever family has the patience to change his behavior or he will just keep bouncing around and probably end up a criminal of sorts.<br />I would never have the patience you have had, for a child not even my own.<br />I have enough trouble dealing with all of the problems my 21 year old has.Funny in My Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281231657407206988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790267042141485205.post-87813425714013281952012-06-18T15:44:47.044-07:002012-06-18T15:44:47.044-07:00Hope the trip goes well.

This is a little boy who went to my husband's school, and we decided to let him live with us while paperwork was being done to have him move out of state. After this experience, i have new respect for people who DO do foster care. I won't do it again, sadly.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917139752555698353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790267042141485205.post-90639130837055628172012-06-18T11:55:13.375-07:002012-06-18T11:55:13.375-07:00jUDY DO YOU DO FOSTER CARE?
